UNDERWEAR ATTACHMENT.

Application filed May 29, 1917.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, CAROLINE REBER, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Red Lodge, in the county of Carbon and State of Montana, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Underwear Attachments, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to an underwear attachment and has for its object the production of a support for a sleeveless vest without shoulder straps from slipping down over the bust of the wearer and at the same time doing away with the necessity of two straps passing over the shoulder when worn under a corset-cover or brassiere.

Other objects and advantages of the present invention will appear throughout the following specification and claim.

In the drawings:

Figure l is a perspective view of a portion of a corset-cover showing the sleeveless vest supported thereby.

Fig. 2 is a plan view of the inner portion of a corset-cover showing the manner of supporting the sleeveless vest.

Fig. 3 is a transverse section through the shoulder strap showing the manner of securing the sleeveless vest thereto.

Fig. l is a plan view of a portion of the sleeveless vest showing the socket portion of the spring clasp secured thereto.

Fig. 5 is a plan view of one end of the supporting tape.

By referring to the drawings it will be Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 171,702.

seen that 1 designates the shoulder strap 0f the corset-cover 2 over which the supporting tape or strip 3 passes. This tape or strip is" stitched or otherwise secured to the front portion of the sleeveless vest 4 upon or near the upper fold or seam 5. The tape 3 then passes over or around the front portion of the shoulder strap 1 and the ball portion 6 of the s ring clasp which is carried by the free en thereof interlocks with the socket portion 7 of the spring clasp carried by the same or fold 5.

By carefully considering Fig. 1 of the drawings it will be seen that the sleeveless vest is adapted, to pass under the arm of the wearer and that the tape will efliciently support the front portion thereof by encircling the shoulder strap 1 of the corset-cover 2.

It should be understood that the device produced comprises a very simple structure of a minimum number of parts which will hang snugly upon the body of the wearer and will not pucker.

What is claimed is As a new article of manufacture a sleeveless vest, a supporting tape secured at one end to said vest and adapted to pass around the shoulder strap of a corset-cover, a spring clasp secured to said tape and vest for detachably holding the free end of said tape in a closed position around the shoulder strap of a corset-cover.

In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature.

CAROLINE REBER.
